The “Wheels of Laredo” was written by Carlile with Tim and Phil Hanseroth.
On a winter night in Webb County, Texas
On the north bank of the mighty Rio Grande
I was watching the jungle fires a-burnin’
Across the border of a not-so-distant land
And the echoes of the church bells that were swingin’
Could be heard from Guadalupe Market Square
There was s girl down there in the south side of the river
She had feathers tied into her long black hair
And if I was I was White-Crowned Sparrow
Well I would float upon the southern skies of blue
But I’m stuck inside the wheels of Laredo
Wishing I was rolling back to you
I put on my favorite jacket for Jamboozie
I painted up my eyes and wore my beads
There was a band playing “To God Be the Glory”
There were people dancing all around the street
There were barrels on the sidewalk that were burning
And a fortune-teller readin’ people’s hands
And I swear, I heard those church bells ringing
‘Cross the border of a not-so-distant land
Singing, if I was White-Crowned Sparrow
Well I would float upon the southern skies of blue
But I’m stuck inside the wheels of Laredo
Wishing I was rolling back to you
If I was White-Crowned Sparrow
Well I would float upon the southern skies of blue
But I’m stuck inside the wheels of Laredo
Wishing I was rolling back to you
I’m stuck inside the wheels of Laredo
Wishing I was rolling back to you
Wish I was rolling back, back to you
Wish I was rolling back to you
Wish I was rolling back to you
The While I’m Livin’ album includes several songs written by Tucker, Carlile, and twins Tim and Phil Hanseroth.
